NovelTrueChapter 1154:
She smiled and asked with genuine concern, “Dad, how have you been? Do you need help?”
Alec found her attitude toward him strange. Just a few days ago, he had gone to visit Isabella but couldn't see
her. After asking around, he had discovered she no longer lived there. It had left him thinking she was going out
of her way to avoid him. He was already down on his luck, and it seemed even his own daughter looked down on
him.
Frustrated, he asked, “Aren’t you working for Rosie? What are you doing here?” He hadn't heard that Rosie had
thrown both Mack and Isabella out, so her presence here puzzled him.
Isabella followed him into the small security office so they could talk more privately.
“Rosie doesn’t wantanymore. Yesterday, | ran into Brenna, and she offereda job. Thirty thousand a
month, plus commission. Dad, what about you? How much do you make working here?” she said.
Alec shifted uncomfortably. It hit him hard that she was already earning more than he did. To him, Isabella
seemed a bit ungrateful, but he couldn't deny how incredibly lucky she was to have landed another job so
quickly.
Why was he so unlucky?
“I don’t earn as much as you. I'm just a security guard,” he said.
“About seven thousand a month?” Isabella tossed out a guess. Security guards in Shirie usually brought home
about five thousand, and she figured the Mitchell Group might pay a little better.

Alec neither confirmed nor denied it. Instead, he turned the focus back on her. “You only have a bachelor’s
degree. This company hires engineers with master’s degrees. Why would Brenna want you to work for her?”
He kept a wary eye on Isabella. Working for Brenna might put her in a position to pick up information, which
could turn out to be useful for him.
A kinder approach seemed wiser.
“Well, she took pity on me. | was staying in a shabby hotel and could barely afford food. She offereda job as
the store manager at her new store in Electronics Mall. It’s not an engineering role,” Isabella explained.
Alec nodded; he still cared about Isabella. She was his daughter, after all. After thinking it over, he decided not to
run to Rosie with this news. What good would it do for him if his own daughter suffered?

“That's not bad. A real job is a whole lot better than doing shady errands for Rosie,” he said.
